Anyone had any experience with buying a used or refurbished phone from Kogan?

 

Thinking about a Samsung Fold to try out.

 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G 512GB Any Colour Australian Stock - Excellent - Refurbished (dicksmith.co.nz)

First concern I'd have....

 

This product is sold by a third-party seller and they are responsible for their product, the content of their listing and any exchanges of return of their product.

 

All products sold by third-parties are subject to guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

 

So reads to me that Kogan/DSE want nothing to do with it if it goes wrong.

I see they are trying to hock Extended Care when you add it to your cart... which seems to fly in the face of what xpd posted... since I assume the extended care is a Dick Smith product, not the 3rd party seller's product...

@gehenna 

 

colour me interested. Do you not like it?

 

Condition, spec and price? Feel free to PM if you like.

 

Colour doesn't matter.

Same question as above -

 

Anyone had any experience with buying a used or refurbished phone online from cash converters?

 

Thinking about a Samsung Fold to try out.

My experience with CC is they turn the phone on, and if looks OK, they list it. Doubt they blacklist check it or actually use the device....

If you're looking for an iCloud locked Apple device though, CC has you covered.
